Quality Inspections: Carry out regular site inspections of workmanship and finishes, issue non-conformance reports, and track defects through to close-out against Square One's QA/QC standards.
Design Changes & Variations: Assess the technical, cost and programme impact of design changes and buyer modification requests, and ensure no change is executed without approval and updated drawings.
Permits & Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with Cyprus building regulations, permit conditions, fire safety and accessibility requirements; support applications and inspections with the Municipality and other authorities.
Documentation & As-Builts: Maintain an up-to-date drawing register and site records; compile as-built drawings and technical files required for completion certificates and title deeds.
